Daydream Theatre - C16

~ Could this have been Ms Mistie’s goal all along?

I recalled the first time I saw her. Her emaciated body and sallow face made me think that she was a weak and introverted person. However, perhaps she would risk everything for the sake of her most important person’s innocence?

No wonder when we were “investigating” this case, she never once mentioned using Time Capsule s. It was because it still wasn’t time for her to use them.

Perhaps she had anticipated that no matter how much time she spent investigating the case, she would not be able to find out the truth about the incident. Who is Mr. X? Was he Emma’s boyfriend? Were they still in a secret relationship? Did Emma and Allen coincidentally meet that afternoon, or did he make an appointment beforehand? Did Allen molest Emma? Was Emma accidentally telling Allen to push him down the river?

Perhaps these were no longer important to the Ms Mistie as she had already confirmed the whole story in her heart. Her father had gotten to know Mr. X through a chance religious experience, and even found out that Mr. X was Emma’s secret lover. Afterwards, in order to pay a high fee to the Sleeping Religion, he used this information to extort Emma, in order to let the so-called God of Virtuality “revive” his wife (I think it was possible to imitate the real Margaret in a virtual world). So on that afternoon, they agreed to meet at Greenbird Bay. Maybe Emma agreed to this deal, or maybe Emma didn’t. In the end, Emma pushed Allen down the river. It could be that after seeing that Allen did not know how to swim and realized that there was no one smoking nearby, Emma “relaxed” and ran back to the hotel as if nothing had happened.

No matter if there were any loopholes in this reasoning, or if there were any delusions, I think the Ms Mistie already treated it as the only truth.

As she slowly showed me some evidence and clues, she wasn’t thinking about convincing me or the audience. She was only trying to find an absolute chance to obtain the Time Capsule, and from there, create this unimaginable situation.

It didn’t matter to me how many people I had. All she had to do was make this “killer” in her heart suffer the appropriate punishment to avenge her father.

She didn’t care that she assumed that her father was also a disgrace, because if he didn’t use the information provided by Mr. X to extort Emma, there would never have been a tragedy later on.

Just like she said, Emma was a big star, a VIP who could earn a lot just by playing around. He was even protected by the law because he committed a crime! So what’s the point of giving the poor some money? Therefore, her father hadn’t made any mistakes!

So… Now that everyone believes what this star has said, even after I’ve listed so much evidence, the ignorant audience can’t distinguish right from wrong… Then I can only take the last step! Only if I punish this murderer myself will I be able to bring justice to bear!

I think this is the path of the Ms Mistie. Of course, there was a possibility that the idea of stealing the Time Capsule was something he had thought of midway through the live broadcast, because the crew had proudly voted to let the audience vote for Emma or to let the audience vote for him. The result of the vote was obvious, how could an ordinary, even ugly, hysterical woman compare to a pitiful, beautiful girl who had had had enough of torture? I think the vote also provoked her to make such a terrible move at last.

My thoughts were churning like the waves in the ocean. I thought that if I had discovered her goal earlier, perhaps I wouldn’t have let the Time Capsule … But, but! However, she was able to steal the Time Capsule because we had accidentally entered the Evil Sect. Could she be colluding with Sleeping Religion and the rest? If it wasn’t for the black-robed man taking my black box and bracelet and anesthetizing me, it would be impossible for her to steal the Time Capsule now.

How could she have opened my box eight and taken the Time Capsule without the help of the black-robed priest? Wasn’t she bound to be related to this mysterious organization?

This mysterious organization is truly powerful, to the point that they can block all the signals that I send out. As an ordinary person, how could the Ms Mistie be related to such an organization?

And Abaruba… Yes, Abaruba, who is this mysterious person who calls himself Abaruba? Why did Ms Mistie tell me at the end that she did not see Abaruba at all, and insist that I was the one who brought him to the gathering location of Sleeping Religion?

Why? My train of thoughts was disturbed by Little White’s shouts. He had already reached my destination — Emma’s Prison. The Eloi has already authorized this little white guy to give me a lift.

I saw that the entire prison had been surrounded so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak out. It was obvious that the majority of them were Eloi Film And Television Company s, because the clothes they were wearing had the symbol of Eloi s.

However, I immediately saw the director, who was anxiously waiting for me at the entrance. Beside him was a stranger that I had never seen before — — Of course, not the Mr Abaruba.

“Director Andy! I’m here. I really, really didn’t know this was going to happen. ” I shook my head and even opened the box for him to see. “There’s no more. The Time Capsule is gone.”

“I know that. There is only one Time Capsule in the world.” Director Andy said, but the stranger beside him interrupted and said: “No, there are a lot of them, it’s just that we gave you a program.”

“May I ask who this is?”

“Ah, let me introduce you.” He was clearly an Asian, with an imposing manner, and appeared to be extremely calm. “This is Dr Sun, from the Castari.”

“Ah, Castari?” I didn’t expect to see a doctor from the Castari with my own eyes. It had to be known that Castari released all kinds of beneficial inventions to the world every year, but almost no one who had the Castari would come out to meet with the masses.

“That’s right, that’s the only Castari.” He was extremely arrogant.

Dr Sun, are you here to remove the Time Capsule?

“My name is Sun Junhui, please do not call me Doctor. The title of Doctor is meaningless to me, not to mention the fact that there are many fake doctors in this world.”

“Well, Mr. Sun, can you tell me what’s going on?” I want to see the Ms Mistie as soon as possible, and the Miss Emma as well. I want to know if the situation is as unfathomable as the director said.

“Latimer, follow me.” The director opened up a path. Even though we are from Eloi, seeing Castari, everyone from Dr Sun moved out of the way. There were even many live broadcasters who attempted to take a closer look at the Dr Sun because they were all curious about the people from the Castari.

We walked through the crowded corridors until we came to the visiting room we had been in the day before. The huge glass wall had been demolished, and I was amazed at what I saw!

I saw two figures moving very fast in the interview room, but not more than one sphere. At the edge of the sphere, there was a distinct dividing line due to the difference in the rate of refraction of the light. It was like a giant glass ball surrounding the two of them – but I didn’t have time to clearly see their faces because they were moving so fast that they were like two rainbows that were constantly revolving with each other.

This was the complete opposite of what I saw when I used Time Capsule s. I had previously done six episodes of the daydream theater’s program, and I had been unfolding all of them inside the Time Capsule s. When I looked out, I saw that everyone was moving slowly, all the sights, sounds, and movements had slowed down. And according to the speed of time flow inside the Time Capsule, the speed of external figures would change in a relatively proportional manner. Sometimes I spend the whole day inside, and the people outside have just taken two steps.

Right now, the Miss Emma and the Ms Mistie are probably in this kind of situation. They can see that our movements are as slow as a snail, and almost not moving at all. But they themselves could not feel their own movements speeding up, because standing in their own Time Field, their time was “normal” while in the outside world, our time was “slow”.

As the director said, we may have only spent a day outside, but the two people inside may have spent ten days, a hundred days, or even a thousand days!
